Poor Light: Free Lamp Download Fits Bill as Frugal Decor

Too cheap to hunt garage sales or Craigslist? Well then, what could be cheaper than free? Assuming, of course, you are not too cheap to own a computer – but if you were, how would you be reading this?

The Poor Light from Poorex is part design, part statement, and entirely free to download. It is a conceptual product but one with at least a semi-practical application – after all, you can use it to at least dimly illuminate a space.

Variants on this idea include using cheap kids-room glow-in-the-dark stars, reformed into a lamp, or cutting a hole in hanging fabric set in front of the most free source of all: sunlight.
